What should I do about this guy?

So there is this guy in my class i like and he told my friend that he had a crush on me one day. After he figured out i liked him to things got akward and we wouldnt talk to each other that much. The only time we would talk to eachother is if we were partners in class or something (that the teacher picked) Then after that week was over it was spring break and we started texting eachother alot durning spring break. But when we saw eachother at school we just kinda stared at eachother alot but never really talked. Sometimes we would say maybe 2 or 3 things every day. And now he dosnt even text me anymore, So i dont know if he dosnt like me anymore and im to afraid to talk to him cause im really shy!! How can i get him to just start talking to me alot? (btw im in middle school)

P.s should I txt him or would it be weird since we don't talk much? And he is not a shy person just saying
